Variadic generics discussion

[xwu (Xiaodi Wu)]

I'll link here to another thread where I posted my thoughts on this. It's only IMHO, but I would like to see this etiquette established where "bumps" stop happening. The feature doesn't exist today not for lack of interest, but for lack of engineering resources to make it happen.

Add stable sort algorithm

Not to be that guy, but given that there's an open bug (and the fairly obvious nature of the feature), I see little reason to resurrect this thread without movement towards an implementation, which is what's holding it back. On a meta level, it seems that with easier searching there's a spate of new messages posted to ancient threads that say little more than, "I want this." Like "bump" messages in other forums, I'm not sure it's moving the conversation forward in any material way.
